OpenTangl Plugin for OpenClaw

This is an OpenClaw plugin (not a plain skill). It registers native tools into the OpenClaw agent runtime so you can operate OpenTangl entirely from chat.

Once installed, your agent gains 11 tools covering the full OpenTangl lifecycle: reading the queue, proposing tasks, running autopilot, executing workflows, auditing cross-repo wiring, and managing the merge pipeline.

Install

openclaw plugins install opentangl-plugin

Then restart your gateway:

openclaw gateway restart

---

Configure

Add to your OpenClaw config file:

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      opentangl: {
        enabled: true,
        config: {
          // Required: path to your OpenTangl workspace
          // (the directory containing projects.yaml and tasks/)
          workdir: "/path/to/your/opentangl-workspace",

          // Optional: override the CLI path if not in PATH
          // bin: "/usr/local/bin/opentangl",

          // Optional: timeout in ms (default 120000; increase for autopilot)
          // timeout: 300000,
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

To enable the mutating tools (they are off by default for safety):

{
  tools: {
    allow: [
      "opentangl_propose",
      "opentangl_autopilot",
      "opentangl_run_workflow",
      "opentangl_next",
      "opentangl_wire",
      "opentangl_merge",
      "opentangl_prune",
      "opentangl_resume",
    ],
  },
}

---

Prerequisites

• OpenTangl installed and configured (projects.yaml + .env with API key)
• node, git, gh in PATH
• OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in the environment

What you get

Always-on tools (read-only)

| Tool | What it does | |------|-------------| | opentangl_queue | Task queue with dependency status | | opentangl_projects | Registered projects and resolved paths | | opentangl_list_executions | Recent workflow executions |

Optional tools (enable via tools.allow)

| Tool | What it does | |------|-------------| | opentangl_propose | Analyze codebase → propose tasks (preview or queue) | | opentangl_autopilot | Full autopilot: propose + write + verify + commit + PR | | opentangl_run_workflow | Run a workflow YAML (run or auto mode) | | opentangl_next | Execute the next eligible queue task | | opentangl_wire | Read-only cross-repo wiring audit | | opentangl_merge | Merge pipeline: CI wait, diff review, merge/escalate | | opentangl_prune | Remove terminal tasks, commit cleaned queue | | opentangl_resume | Resume a failed workflow execution by ID |

Example session

You:   What's in the task queue?
Agent: [opentangl_queue] → 3 pending, 1 running, 2 completed

You:   Propose some tasks for the api project
Agent: [opentangl_propose mode=preview projects=api] → shows proposed tasks

You:   Queue them
Agent: [opentangl_propose mode=queue projects=api] → appended 4 tasks

You:   Run the next one
Agent: [opentangl_next] → executes task, commits changes

You:   Run the merge pipeline
Agent: [opentangl_merge] → opens PRs, waits for CI, merges
